Residential Architecture

Heiland Hoff Architecture offers full service architectural design for any type of residential structure.  We are experienced in designing and overseeing construction of single family homes, duplexes, multi-family housing, and mixed-use commercial/residential buildings.  Our past projects range from modest kitchen remodels to multi-million dollar developments, including a 241 unit luxury condominium project overlooking the San Francisco Bay.  Our projects are sensitive to nature, whether they are found in rural or urban settings. 

Clear Creek Plaza
This mixed-use commercial/residential development in Ashland, Oregon provides luxuriously appointed condominiums on the upper floors, with commercial space on the lower level.  The idea is to provide an environment where the owners of the downstairs businesses would live upstairs, as is the custom in European downtowns.  When completed, the commercial spaces will likely house offices for doctors, lawyers, and dentists, with the professionals living upstairs in spendid luxury.  Because of the centralized location, it would not be necessary for these professionals to even own a car.


The Trickle Residence

Nestled on a tiny lot in Ashland, Oregon, this delightful cottage was one of Heiland Hoff Architecture's most challenging projects.  Due to zoning restrictions, the dwelling was limited to only 900 square feet.  It is an open secret that architects get paid more to design large houses, but the small ones are much more difficult.  Furthermore, the lot slopes steeply to the North, making it more difficult to access the sun.  The solution was to build up; the planning department limited the square footage, but not the volume.  We built as high as we could without casting a shadow onto the neighboring property.  The construction crew called this house "the church of the holy rafters". 

This residence has been published in several newspaper and magazine articles. It is also featured in the City of Ashland's Parade of Homes, an event that showcases green and passive solar houses.  Every appointment is designed to access and amplify the meager available sunlight. A line of double clerestories brings filtered Southern light and warmth into every room in the house, including the master suite on the North side of the house. Water is heated by active solar panels on the roof, and the entire house is wired for future photovoltaic power.

The Not So Big House
Before Sarah Susanka published her best-selling series of books, starting with The Not So Big House, Heiland Hoff Architecture was already advocating strongly for the same concepts and values.  We have designed plenty of 8,000 to 12,000 square foot residences, and we will design one for you if you insist.  But we would prefer to create for you a smaller house that employs excellent space-saving features, allowing an equivalent lifestyle in a smaller space.  If you choose to spend the same amount of money on a 2500 square foot house that you would have been willing to spend on a 5000 square foot house, it doubles the cost per square foot, creating spectacular luxury and spendor.

Heiland Hoff himself chooses to live, with his wife and his Great Dane, in a 900 square foot house.  While it isn't for everyone, living in a not so big house is at least something you ought to consider.
